:f_red My Dear Friend, I knew this day was approaching but had hoped and prayed it wouldn't be this soon. You had such comforting words for me when I lost Turbo and Amy and I'm sitting here like a blubbering idiot trying to find words to express how my broken heart feels. I am just so very sorry. Thank you for sharing Goghbaby with Carmen. He was such a large part of our "life" and will be sorely missed. I know Turbo and Amy will be running to meet him. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.

:gh_run Run fast and free sweet Goghbaby! :gh_run

 

I AM WITH YOU

 

I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.

I could see that you were crying, You found it hard to sleep.

I whined to you softly as you brushed away a tear,

"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."

 

I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,

You were thinking of the many times, your hands reached down to me.

I was with you at the shops today, Your arms were getting sore.

I longed to take your parcels, I wish I could do more.

 

I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.

I want to reassure you, that I'm not lying there.

I walked with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.

I gently put my paw on you, I smiled and said "it's me."

 

You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.

I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.

It's possible for me, to be so near you everyday.

To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."

 

You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew ...

in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.

The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning and say

"goodnight, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."

 

And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,

I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.

I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.

Be patient, live your journey out ... then come home to be with me.

and bring you home again.

Jackie, I have always loved that poem. Thank you for your words of comfort, everyone has been so supportive these passed few months....I can never say thank you enough.

Gogh has been a part of my life for the passed 5 years & always made me smile. He was so shy & timid, so afraid of strangers....but when his momma got hurt, he stood over me to protect me.

During these last 3 1/2 weeks, he struggled to understand why his leg hurt & why he couldn't run & play chase with Jack & Banker...but he never lost his spirit. His eyes were still bright yesterday, he was still eating like a little pony & he still loved life. But I could tell he just was hurting too much & the meds weren't doing what they were supposed to do.

He had 2 special girlfriends here on Greytalk...Skittles & Carmen...many many friends...I miss him so terribly, my heart hurts. :beatheart

The Spirit Of A Greyhound

 

I was standing on a hillside in a field of blowing wheat,

and the spirit of a Greyhound was lying at my feet.

He looked at me with kind dark eyes, ancient wisdom shining through.

in the essence of his being, I saw the love there too.

His mind did lock upon my heart as I stood there on that day,

and he told me of this story about a place so far away.

As I stood upon that hillside in a field of blowing wheat,

in a twinkling of a second his spirit left my feet.

His tale did put my heart at ease, all my fears did fade away

about what lay ahead of me on another distant day.

"I live among God's creatures now in the heavens of your mind,

so do not grieve for me, my friend as I am with my kind.

My collar is a rainbow's hue, my leash a shooting star.

my boundaries are the Milky Way where I sparkle from afar.

There are no pens or kennels here for I am not confined,

but I'm free to roam God's heavens among the Greyhound kind.

I nap the day on a snowy cloud gentle breezes rocking me,

and dream the dreams of earthlings, and how it used to be.

The trees are full of liver treats, and tennis balls abound,

and milk bones line the walkways just waiting to be found.

There even is a ring set up, the grass all lush and green;

and everyone who gaits around becomes the Best of Breed.

For we're all winners in this place; we have no faults, you see.

and God passes out those ribbons to each one, even me.

I drink from waters laced with gold, my world a beauty to behold;

and wise old dogs do form my pride to amble at my very side.

At night I sleep in angel's arms, her wings protecting me,

and moonbeams dance about us as stardust falls on thee.

So when your life on earth is spent and you stand at Heaven's gate,

have no fear of loneliness-- for here, you know, I wait."

It is better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all
